The best saddest commercials around (RL)

[thistlechaser]

Three commercials from Thailand, all from the same insurance company. Each one is worse/better/sadder than the next

Marry Me -- First one I watched. I thought 'Yay, the others can't be more depressing than this!'. I was wrong. :}

Daddy -- Gah! *sniffles* I don't even like kids and this broke me.

My son -- I actually said 'holy fuck!' out loud at one part of it. Gah.

Totally worth watching, very well done (the subtitles are a little rough but still understandable). So totally sad though. I'd suggest watching them in the order I linked them.

I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad we don't have commercials like this here...

Holy shit.

Wow. That makes me wonder what the typical Thai commercial is like. Those are both long and sadder than most shows that are meant to be tear-jerkers.

'Marry Me' left me bawling. ;_____;

I sat through the first one fine and thought "This isn't so bad!"

But the second one broke me.

Then I was okay with the third one. Huh.

3 minute commercials. that was my first thought... our attention span doesn't even last 3 minutes.

Wow. The commercials are so touching and yet, the comments to them are so disgusting. Somebody needs to hurry up and develop a way to slap people over the internet.

Is there a way to turn Youtube comments off? Seriously, I can't think of any time the comments in a video haven't been so completely idiotic I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

If you're a Firefox user, I'd normally recommend that you download the Greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748) extension and No YouNoobs script, but userscripts.org (where you get Greasemonkey scripts) is having a problem with someone uploading malicious scripts to the site right now. It'll probably get cleared up in a few days.

They.. are.. art..

The Daddy one... T_T Marrage...; ; The Grandpa one on the site is also really touching...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Like nothing we have here.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wonder if that's longer than usual? But I can't imagine a 3 minute commercial if their normal is 30 seconds like ours...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :(

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the second one... *sniffles*

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

For many folks, yeah. :/

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some of the comments annoyed me, too. :/ Idiots...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :/ *sniffles*
